SurePoint® Technologies, a leading provider of innovative legal software and intelligence solutions for mid-sized law firms, is proud to unveil its inaugural Law Firm Index Mid-Sized 200 ranking. Powered by Leopard Solutions, SurePoint’s data and intelligence platform, this groundbreaking report delivers an unprecedented view into the performance of mid-sized law firms across the United States, setting a new standard for how these firms are evaluated in today’s competitive legal market.
The Mid-Sized 200 is built on the analysis of Leopard's Law Firm Index (LLFI), a real-time rating system that uniquely blends quantitative data with size-adjusted weighting to deliver one of the most comprehensive assessments of law firm performance available today. Unlike traditional rankings that rely heavily on self-reported financials, the Law Firm Index uses "ungameable" data, such as attorney movements, lateral and new hire ROI, diversity representation, and partner promotions, to provide a holistic view of what drives a firm’s success.
Key Findings from the Mid-Sized 200 Report:
- Strong ROI Performance: Dozens of firms posted return on investment (ROI) rates of 90% or higher for both lateral and new hires, indicating efficient onboarding and long-term alignment with firm goals.
- Partner Promotions Drive Stability: A significant number of firms promoted five or more attorneys to partner, signaling robust internal development pipelines and a preference for cultivating leadership from within.
- Balanced Talent Growth: Firms that demonstrated a mix of strong hiring ROI and consistent internal promotions outperformed peers in key retention and engagement indicators.
"The Mid-Sized 200 isn’t just a ranking—it's a reflection of a firm’s true health, performance, and potential," said Laura Leopard, Founder and General Manager of Leopard Solutions. "Diversity, internal mobility, and strategic growth are not just aspirational goals but critical elements that define firm vitality and stability. The firms that excelled in these areas are setting new benchmarks for the industry, proving that sustainability and inclusion are paramount to long-term success. By focusing on comprehensive and objective data, the Law Firm Index for mid-sized firms provides an accurate picture of what makes a law firm thrive in today's rapidly evolving market."
